Reflections of Key Bridge

Reflections of Key Bridge
by Jane McElvany Coonce

One of the places I show my art work is at Cassatt's Kiwi Cafe and Gallery. It's at 4536 Lee Highway in Arlington at the Lee Heights Shops. Every month, the Arlington Artists Alliance changes the show so that new art work can be seen. This month, I put in this Key Bridge painting. I was pleased to get an email today saying that it sold! Now, I will have to take another painting up there to put in it's place.
Cassatt's is a great place to have lunch or dinner ( and breakfast, too, for that matter.) Not only do you get to enjoy good food, but you have the visual stimulation from the art work that is there. Hope you'll stop by sometime.

About Me

"The way light falls on an object has always fascinated me. In paintings and in sculpture, I strive to capture the interesting effect that light plays on the subject."
Jane McElvany Coonce has been in the art field for over 30 years. She works primarily in oil, pastel, and terra cotta. Her favorite subjects are children, seascapes, and bridge scenes. She is particularly skillful at capturing the luminescent quality of sunlight reflecting on water and on the interplay of water and sky.
Her works are held by private and corporate collectors. Her corporate collectors include the National Institute of Health in Bethesda, Maryland and the International Country Club, Fairfax, Virginia and the Rickover Academy in Chicago. She has won numerous awards for both her paintings and her sculptures.
She has been an art instructor for Arlington County Adult Education since 1980.
